They're being released in stores near me soon. I generally drink coke zero and/or pepsi max. I'm curious how different it tastes.

    apparently the taste. It's supposed to be reformulated. I haven't tried it though, so i'm not sure

    I really like coke zero vanilla, hope they don't screw it up in the process. I also love diet coke lime but can never find it when I want it.

    I haven't seen it but I wonder if we'll get it in Canada. I feel like we're always behind the US for these things.

    I haven't seen it yet. I hope they don't mess it up though because I drink Coke Zero (it's sooo much better than diet...not as good as Coke, obviously, but it doesn't have as strong of a nasty aspartame taste as diet).

    They're not "bad" necessarily, but water is better. Even if the aspartame, chlorine, chloride, or whatever aren't bad for you internally, the acid in cola (zero calorie or not) is hell on your teeth. Few people really think about it, but that damage adds up over time. i just feel better when i drink water !

    Yeah no... Not true. What's good for you isn't universal.

    Not that I'm aware of. Which either means "no" - which is probably the correct answer - or I have, but didn't notice any difference. If I have, it's been from a fountain, not a bottle/can.

    I think any zero calorie sweetener has the potential to mess up the way your body regulates insulin. That said if all it offers is taste with no real food value why bother getting hooked on it. Just the way I look at it so don't change what you like because of my opinion.

    Oh no, this scares me!!! I treat myself a couple times a week to a nice big Coke Zero fountain drink and I hate to think they've changed the taste!

    Thank god they're changing it. I hope it's actually good because as it stands, Coke Zero is abysmally awful.

    Scientific studies have conclusively proven otherwise. So no.

    As to the OP, I'm more of a Diet Coke fan than Coke Zero. I'll give the new one a try, but Coca-Cola hasn't exactly had resounding success with their reformulations in the past (anybody remember "New Coke" back in the day?)

    THEY'RE CHANGING IT!?!?!?!

    This is about as good an idea as New Coke was. Coca-Cola, if it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT.
